20090207644 | MEMORY CELL ARCHITECTURE - Embodiments of the present invention disclose a memory architecture for optimizing memory performance and size. Memory optimization is realized by configuring the memory to a particular logic state; that is, restricting memory data storage to either logic “0” or “1.” The opposite logic state, “1” or “0,” can be available through initialization and, therefore, may be presumed. Accordingly, the presumed, initialized logic state is available unless the configured logic state in memory changes the initialized data during memory access. Memory size reduction is realized by restricting physical memory to contain only cells that store data. Memory size can be further reduced by eliminating redundant data rows and columns. By reducing memory size, processing speed can be enhanced and power consumption reduced relative to conventional memory structures. | 08-20-2009 |

Methods and devices are described using different defect detection standards to detect and map defects of different sizes and in specific regions that can affect drive operation. Also, methods and devices are described that provide fast and efficient defect scanning in selected regions due to utilization of error correction systems. Methods are shown where during defect detection a read/write gate assertion is triggered using a servo gate pulse. | 02-05-2009 |
20090034110 | DISK DRIVE APPARATUS AND MULTI-TASKING METHOD - A disk drive apparatus is shown that provides multi-tasking of firmware and hardware separately. A shared data structure is shown that permits queuing of multiple task requests and storing of multiple task results for later use, decreasing a need for wait time between components such as disk drive firmware and hardware. Further efficiencies are provided, including power saving modes when higher power disk drive components are not in use. | 02-05-2009 |

20100228415 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING THE COST OF EFFICIENT VEHICLES - A system and method are described for reducing the cost of efficient vehicles. For example, a computer-implemented system according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: a vehicle equipped with a memory for storing program code and a processor for processing the program code to perform a specified set of operations, the vehicle further comprising a data communication interface; a fuel pump of electrical charging station having a data communication interface, wherein the fuel pump of electrical charging station and the vehicle establish a digital data communication channel using the data communication interfaces as the vehicle is being refueled or charged; wherein the fuel pump of electrical charging station provides an amount of fuel or electricity to the vehicle and, after or during fueling or recharging, transmits an indication of the amount of fuel or electricity consumed by the vehicle to a third party server; wherein the third party server is maintained by a third party having a contractual relationship with an owner/operator of the vehicle in which the vehicle has been provided to the owner/operator at a reduced cost in exchange for an agreement by the owner/operator to provide the third party a supplemental payment based on the amount of fuel or electricity consumed by vehicle, wherein in response to receipt of the indication of the amount of fuel or electric consumed by the vehicle, the third party charges the owner/operator a supplement amount based on the amount of fuel or electricity used by the owner/operator. | 09-09-2010 |
20110313880 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTING TRANSPORTATION RESOURCES - Embodiments of the present invention include various steps, which will be described below. The steps may be embodied in machine-executable instructions. The instructions can be used to cause a general-purpose or special-purpose processor to perform certain steps. Alternatively, these steps may be performed by specific hardware components that contain hardwired logic for performing the steps, or by any combination of programmed computer components and custom hardware components. | 12-22-2011 |
20150206267 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A TRANSPORTATION MARKETPLACE - Systems and methods for providing a transportation marketplace are provided. A transportation server receives, from a client device of a user, a request for a transportation service. The transportation server determines a set of drivers in response to the request, the set of drivers further being available to provide the transportation service when the request is received. The transportation server provides the set of drivers to the client device, wherein each driver within the set of drivers is selectable by the user of the client device. | 07-23-2015 |

20090292354 | OPTIMIZED INTRAOCULAR LENS - An optimized aspheric lens has improved optics when implanted into a patient having a curved retina. Light entering the optimized aspheric lens on-axis or at an angle to the optical axis is properly focused by the lens, reducing aberrations and producing a much smaller spot size of light on the retina. A method of selecting the optimized values for variables of the lens design, such as base radii of the front and back surface of the lens, conic constants of the front and back surfaces, and/or center thickness of the lens, among other possible parameters is provided. The method includes calculating changes in a merit function while changing the various values for the variables and selecting an optimized merit function. | 11-26-2009 |
20140135919 | FREE-FORM PROGRESSIVE MULTIFOCAL REFRACTIVE LENS FOR CATARACT AND REFRACTIVE SURGERY - A new type of multi-focal lens that has a free-form progressive multifocal front surface consisting of a 16th order polynomial superimposed on a standard conic base surface is described. The center region of the lens is optimized for distance vision, while simultaneously optimizing the rest of the lens for near vision. The resulting free-form even asphere polynomial surface is smooth, unlike present day diffractive multifocal designs. Additionally, this lens design is suitable for both refractive and cataract surgeries. | 05-15-2014 |
